Considered ‘Republication,’ Web Use of Photo Triggers New Statute of Limitations
An investment banker may pursue a suit he filed almost a decade after he claims a photo of him playing touch football was first displayed in a New York Sports Club without his permission. A New York judge held that the posting of Robert Geary's photo on the Web site of the club's parent company "constituted a republication which triggered a new statute of limitations." Geary's attorney says the photos are "an embarrassment" to his client, saying they made him look "like he spends his time eating the dust."
